PAWS helps human and animal victims of typhoon Yolanda

Being the first team of animal responders on the ground for Tacloban City, the PAWS-IFAW Disaster Relief and Emergency Response Team immediately did feeding of animals in the affected area as they went on about their Rapid-Assessment work. After several flight delays, the said team just arrived from their Tacloban-Cebu-Manila flight at 1:30 am today and team members are currently meeting with individuals and agencies to come up with a strategic distribution of food and medical help for animals by next week.

We need your help to continue with our rescue and relief operations

For those who would like to continue helping, the PAWS Paypal account link and bank account numbers are, as follows:

Account Name for all bank accounts: Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS)and email us – philpaws@paws.org.ph a copy of the validated deposit slip with a note “for disaster-relief -Typhoon Yolanda victims”.

Note: Deadline of November 25 has only been set because future disaster-relief runs need to be scheduled on a weekly basis and the fact that most supplies can be purchased nearer the affected areas. We do not want to end up with donations in-kind which our responders will not be able to physically bring with them together with other medical and food supplies.

We will post about the succeeding disaster-relief runs as we get the photos and the updates. Our team thanks those who have sent in their donations – we are compiling a list of donors names which we will put out in a future facebook post.
